Screenshot forgotten from the first document
This screenshot is an example of what GHOST’s streams were like in 2016 if you were not around to see them. They were essentially public streamed group VC’s with a chat of a few hundred. Seen here in this screenshot is the chat encouraging Fish to go looking for “candy gore”. Asking Fish for the context, his best guess was this was him attempting to seem cool and wanting to be into the same things as his friends, but expressing that he was extremely squeamish and couldn’t look at “regular” gore.
We would encourage people to take this less lightly due to being 10 year old memories at this point and make what they want from this screencap.
Context
Allen, the person who provided us this additional information, was someone involved in the incident as part of the friend group. He got into contact with Fish after compiling his own document, which we have sourced this additional document from. Allen has not been in contact with GHOST since 2018 and was around the same age as Fish (14-15) when these events took place.
All messages from him are italicised.
Before the fallout - additional proof
These screenshots of Google Hangouts chats were provided by Allen, GHOST is believed to be “Deleted User” in the earlier shots and is definitively “jay g” in the latter. Fish is “WIP” and “neptune”.
For the google hangouts, those were all to denote when calls between us all took place, as i can assure that several of them included NSFW content, though there isn't any physical evidence of such. Sexualization of us [...] and other members frequently occurred both in calls, and during livestreams. Though, I'm not entirely sure how to document that at this point.
We used this chat for several days / calling on and off, but the account ghost was using has since been deactivated, I believe?
At this point, [Fish] begin going by NEPTUNE
From this point forward, all hangouts are groups only [Allen] was part of
There are no further hangouts after this [...].
About the creation of The Distortionist and the stalking
This section is directly quoted from Allen:
[...] the distortionist was previously in concept only up until ghost was contacted for the callout made on you (around [25th January 2017]). at that point, they seemed to fully devote their time to it. Some of the ideas i provided in the twitter segment were later used for the pv, but other than that its just to give an idea how long the group was engaged on that, my level of involvement, and what i knew you were a topic in.
hearing that the stalking went on until 2020 absolutely floored me, because as shown, we were uninvolved, meaning that was entirely ghost and whoever was in their circle at the time. Thats a big distinction i wanted to make, as that's also relevant to the current circumstances regarding them, and their seemingly indefinite and still ongoing mental health crisis.
GHOST Didn’t Tell Anyone Fish Apologised in 2017
Multiple parties who were still involved at the time were never told that Fish reached out to GHOST to offer a personal apology.
This section is directly quoted from Allen:
We ([Antorii] and I) were NEVER made aware you had offered an apology to ghost, or any other parties, beyond a brief mention on a private twitter account. Only the, as you described it in your email “vague one” on tumblr. Despite us being in the group for another year, we only found out the full extent through this document's release.
This is strange considering the apology was made 3 months before The Distortionist originally released in April 2017.
More Confirmation of the Discord Chats
This section is directly quoted from Allen:
The song was conceived privately (on twitter, i think) There was no discord server that I was aware of (aside from the one your ex-friend group had, i was not in it), but there was a channel in ghost’s, as you have screenshots for. My memory through a lot of that time is hazy, given how .. Bad everything was all around, and my loss of access to records, but the channel may have either been a general venting channel that was renamed, or a channel that was made for me during our relationship issues that then became a general venting channel. It is true that the pv was originally going to contain our sonas, though this idea was scrapped as ghost didn’t want to make it seem like a callout or attract more attention than necessary.
I don’t know where the idea of us beating your sona up came from, im sure it was joked about in some capacity, but what i recall was the original pv concept intended all of us to hold up mirrors to you and that be what ‘defeated’ you, in a very rpg-style battle sequence (akin to medusa). That of course doesn't change the intention behind the song, but I did want to clarify that it was not actually meant to be a beat-down, and more of a “look at yourself” concept. I didn't see this claim in the doc itself but saw this going around so wanted to mention it.
Server called ‘bingo club’ is deleted
Confirmation of tiddy party + other servers (one suspected)
As of 12/2017, ghost was no longer in that server
As of 2/2018, [Allen] was no longer in that server either.
Additional Confirmation of The Distortionist’s Origins and Stalking
This section is directly quoted from Allen, the screenshots show his accounts replies to GHOST on private:
Ghost teases distortionist privately (note: this is either the same day or day after the callout post was posted based on timezone differences between the authors of this doc)
Ghost receives [Fish]’s apology, and posts about it privately. The picture was the unread inbox notification, I believe. I do not remember if it was shared to the group or not.
Unsure what ghost said here, but this was my response to a reply on a vent [Allen] made regarding [Fish].
Ghost made a post about the tumblr blog they suspected was [Fish]’s. If i recall, it was two pictures of the account and the posts they made, with one post from this account saying something like “how dare they write distortionist about me” or something to that effect. Ghost asked for everyone’s thoughts. These were my replies.
